Ranveer Singh

Born on July 6, 1985, in Mumbai, Ranveer Singh is a powerhouse of Indian cinema, celebrated for his chameleonic ability to transform into every character he portrays. After studying at Indiana University Bloomington and working briefly in advertising, he made a sensational debut as the street-smart Bittoo Sharma in Band Baaja Baaraat (2010), earning the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. Over the following decade, he solidified his status as a superstar through intense collaborations with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, delivering legendary performances as Peshwa Bajirao I in Bajirao Mastani (2015) and the terrifying Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat (2018). His career has been defined by a fearless range, moving from the quiet sensitivity of Lootera (2013) to the high-octane energy of Simmba (2018) and the gritty realism of Gully Boy (2019), for which he received multiple Best Actor awards. The year 2025 marked a historic peak in Singh's career with the release of Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, which became his highest-grossing film to date, crossing ₹1,113 crore globally. In the film, he delivers a career-defining, "A" rated performance as Captain Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a death-row inmate recruited by Indian intelligence to infiltrate the Karachi underworld under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari. His portrayal—which involved a physical and psychological overhaul—was lauded for its raw intensity, particularly his "cat-and-mouse" chemistry with Akshaye Khanna's Rehman Dakait. In his personal life, Singh is married to superstar Deepika Padukone, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Dua, in 2024. As of early 2026, he remains the most sought-after actor in the country, currently filming the iconic title role in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 and gearing up for the massive release of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge on March 19, 2026.
